Hello John - I'm the lead organizer for VCFMW and we'd be happy to have you (and your hardware) out at our show. VCFMW has changed a lot since you (and even Bill D) last attended - we have a new location with about double the floor space and our attendance has grown in proportion. Our tables are all booked up and the free-for-all space in the side vendor room is probably nearly there, too, so I can't guarantee you a table, so I'd suggest compiling a list, if possible, and posting it here and on our local mailing list at http://chiclassiccomp.org to arrange sales ahead of time for delivery at the show. Of course, if space opens up (even floor space, if you bring a table), you're welcome to bring things in to sell, or even sell out of your van in the parking lot. We're all about the trading and swapping. If you have items of lesser value that don't seem to generate interest, you may also consider donating them to our fundraiser auction which happens on Saturday afternoon. Be sure to attend either way - I hear it's quite the spectacle ;) Any more questions, feel free to email me directly. Hope to see you there! -j
